Recorded monuments

• DG046-018 Standing stone
  Description

  There is no trace of the 'Standing Stone' marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on level arable land close to the shore of Lough Swilly. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).

• DG046-019 Souterrain
  Description

  An 11m stretch of souterrain aligned NNW-SSE is open here. It is partly filled with clay and stones and is now only 1.2m in height. It is 1.6m wide at its NNW opening but 1m from the present end, narrows to .5m. The walls are mainly of drystone construction but the lower sections appear to be rock-cut. The roof is composed of slabstones. The end consists of a clay and stone bank and it is not clear if the passage extended further.

• DG046-034 Anomalous stone group
  Description

  Depicted on the current edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map in gothic script as 'Friar's Seat' and partially hachured as a cliff-face. The potential monument has not been visited and it is possible that this could be a geological feature rather than a natural feature. Described in 1886 as 'on a crag, a little to the N. W. of the abbey, is a flat stone called the "Friar's Seat" ' (Kinahan 1886, 424). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: : 17 November 2011
